| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2003 Sweetly darkish beer. Kinda clings like marmite. Fills the mouth with flavour, but in a coating manner that I found greasy and slightly not quite pleasant. Mostly enjoyable, but it didn't hit my zing. Skinnyviking (4191), Copenhagen, Denmark

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Sampled at joebrew’s Sunday BBQ, thanks to JK for sharing. Pours a hazy dark reddish brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissolves. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, light chocolate, some roasted nuts and a touch of chalk. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of raisins, caramel malt, roasted walnuts and some chocolate. Finish is semi-sweet with a slight raisin aftertaste.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 17, 2008 Bottled, BB 3/18/09. Poured clear, brilliant reddish-tea with a short-ish cap of beige head. The aroma picked up toasted caramel, nutty notes, and chocolate.. dry with a fresh herbal accent.. lovely! The flavor had a toasty impression with sweeter bread, aged caramel, and cola.. the back-end had brighter grassy and herbal bitterness that carried through the dry finish. The body was a bit lighter than expected and could’ve used more heft across the middle.. otherwise very well balanced with a memorable, dry finish. I could drink a whole lot of this. goldtwins (4086), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2007 Poured a clear golden chestnut color with a small off-white head. The aroma was malty with caramel and fruity notes. Hint of smoke and light chocolate. Malty caramel flavor with some sweetness. Sammy (4068), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 5, 2004 Alcohol wasn’t posted and didn’t taste it. Light and sweet, perhaps even sugary. Tops in mouthfeel because of lightness and easy to drink. Was not complex which I didn’t find a plus yet would make it popular.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2006 Bottle (500ml). Poured bright clear deep reddish amber with a huge foamy bubbly rocky tan lasting head. Roasty, nutty malty aroma, sweet and grainy, a bit of grape skin. Very light, pleasing flavour of roast malt, grain, vague plum or grape - smooth grainy finish, can’t taste the alcohol - nutty and easy to drink. Mouthfeel is very soft, fairly flat - nice, but not a 4 by my reckoning. Radek Kliber (4000), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada
